Two More Days . . . .

Well, only two more days of enjoying Vancouver and then back to the Three "H"'s of Florida: "Heat, Humidity and Hurricanes", although this year we have been sending out positive vibes to the universe to direct the hurricanes to another coastline . . . We in the Gulf Coast have had more than our share the past few years - it's time to spread the "joy". Hopefully all activity will be in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and won't affect anyone's property. Cross your fingers!

While walking around our West End neighbourhood (Have to start using "Canadian English" spellings . . . .) I can't help but notice the cultural diversity in this city . . . . An elementary school across the street has a melting pot mixture of students of European, Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, Indian and African descent. All playing and learning together with no apparent regard for race or ethnic background . . . . Maybe we should draft all of them to handle diplomacy for our current world leaders . . . . Couldn't hurt!

Looking forward to being able to remain in Vancouver soon without having to return south . . .
